John Durham looking into prior FBI ‘investigation’ of questionable millions that flowed into the Clinton Foundation
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This an expansion of the scope of his investigation as the work on the Obamagate is essentially done. That it leads back to hilary is no surprise. There is some speculation that some arrests will be postponed but this is all planned and scheduled as well and that is wishful thinking. It is clear though that the heavy lifting in terms of public disclosure is independent of what Durham is doing. He gets the high profile arrests. We have not heard from 200,000 sealed indictments and thgat is surely a poli0tical earthquake. Meanwhile voter fraud arrests are taking place. We hav...

Slo Mo came to an end and change took place against the backdrop of MOOREs Law. Other technologies not so lucky as you may imagine.

Durham Goes Apocalyptic As “Blood Feud” Against “Sissies” Collapses Leftist Media
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Here it is reported that when Durham went for the wrap up interview, he found himself running into the bigger picture of Clinton corruption. This was there anyway and it sounds like a normal expansion of his mandate once the Obamagate treason was settled. This is not good news for the criminals. Understand that two former presidents are now under investigation for treason at least by Durham. I am expecting heavy disclosure ahead of the election. However, the criminal investigations and all that will be mostly post election. The back door of the Supreme court has been slammed s...
Trump's Justice Department Is Making Life Hell for Legal Weed
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Interesting develoment. Trump points out that chronic use lowers an individuals smartness and i do tend to agree wiuth this. It actually needs serious investigation and measurement. At the same time plenty of folks do become dependent if not chemically addicted as we experience with alcohol and tobacco and more sertious opiods. An actual federal program is certainly been kept of the table before this election. I do think that criminalization needs to end. Yet that is a mere beginning. Medical intervention needs to be fornmalized for it to work properly.. That will be a huge...

To Keep the Middle East Nuclear-Free, America Should Build a New Arab Coalition

*John Spacapan* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The rapprochement between Israel and the UAE suggests a way to put a lid on the nuclear caldron. A future with multiple states in the Middle East pointing nukes at one another seems more likely than ever before, but the Israel-UAE deal illuminates a solution. With Saudi Arabia secretly pursuing nuclear technology and Turkey and Egypt pursuing nuclear programs as well, Washington should ponder why states loaded with American weaponry are going nuclear anyway. The short answer is, they think America will, or already has, aba...

Can Political Violence Ever Be Justified?
Gwilym David Blunt, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Gwilym David Blunt* *Politics, * We cannot be naive about democracy. The idea that political violence has no place in democratic politics relies on the assumption that democratic states are incapable of severe injustice. This is accompanied by a dogmatic belief that severe injustices – if they do occur – will be remedied by the exercise of voting, the protection of individual rights by the court, or, at the extreme, civil disobedience. The summer of 2020 was indelibly marked by political violence on the streets of many American cities. Exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and i...

The Vedic sense of life was positive—the Vedic philosophers were questing for not just liberation but for ways of achieving virtue, happiness, and fulfillment in one’s lifetime.

Nowhere can we find the tiniest suspicion of a wish to renounce the material world in favor of some spiritual quest; religion is the handmaiden of worldly life. The gods are invoked to give the worshipper the things he wants—health, wealth, long lif...
